Sausage Florentine Shepherd's Pie image

In this Italian take on traditional shepherd's pie, sausage takes the place of ground beef (or lamb), and spinach replaces the green veggies. Zesty tomatoes, Italian cheese blend and garlicky mashed potatoes make this dish incredibly long on flavor, even though the ingredient list is short. -Leah Lyon, Ada, Oklahoma

I made this recipe in a slow cooker and it turned out perfect. I just browned the sausage and then threw everything in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours.

I'm not a fan of sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a lot of work for what you get. I don't think it's worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shepherd's pie was bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This recipe is way too salty for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra milk to balance it out.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shepherd's pie turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked the meat.

I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning to the recipe and it was delicious. I also used a different type of cheese for the topping and it worked out great.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The spinach is cooked perfectly and it's not overpowering.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I always have some leftover sausage in my freezer, so this recipe is perfect for me.
